Last night and today, Aneta and I have been holding an A-Team marathon, and the thing I've been wondering about for a while has finally happened. It took us a long time but we finally did it. We ran out of minute on NetFlix Instant Watching. I have continuously been amazed at the dvd quality streaming that those great guys at NetFlix have been able to pull off. If you've been putting off getting a NetFlix membership you should do it right now. We love it! (I don't even get anything if you sign up, and I still think you should do it.)

This morning I noticed that the plants in the garden in front of our apartment have started blooming again. Aneta and I had thought they were done and so we stopped watering them. Well it turns out that global warming has its perks. (Though I doubt that having an extra month of flowers it really such a great trade-off of global warming.) One of the bushier plants that Aneta planted mid-summer has started blooming. I didn't realize that it was flowering at all, and it has lovely purple flowers.

Last weekend (Oct 4 through Oct 8), Aneta and I took a trip to Niagara Falls. The falls were great. Aneta took some great pictures. We saw them from high up and from low down, from the US and from Canada, early in the morning and late at night.

I love watching Aneta take photos. She does such a great job.

People are generally right when they say that the falls look better from the Canadian side and there are plenty of great things about the Canadian side. The best thing is of course the view of the falls, and the absolutely best place to see the falls from is the top of the Skylon Tower (I kept accidentally calling it the Cylon Tower, which I probably would have done even if I hadn't watched Battlestar, but since I have I would then think "It looks nothing like a cylon.") We had lunch up at the top. It was a lot of fun and we had a great view. At the bottom of the tower, there is an arcade. Aneta and I played a couple rounds of air hockey, which is always fun. The highlight of our play was the round of Daytona USA that we played (in Canada). The game is over ten years old and it is amazing to me that it is still around. After a close race, Aneta pulled ahead and smoked me.
